Nexus 7 all day long. iPad mini is inferior, that's what happens (short term) when you (Apple) end up playing catch up. Apple stopped innovating (bizarrely) and now it's biting them on the arse, even their most loyal of i"Something" users will only stay around on an inferior platform for so...

It does. It says g for GPRS, e for edge and h for hspda? And eh? I don't understand your issue with the message icon, its perfect and its how its done on pretty much every other phone os other than iOS, its always on the screen and visible. The badges in iOS are s**t because you have to scroll...

#if defined(C_PROGRAMMER) #include "usehashesallthetime.h" #endif ;) I can't remember the last time I actually used a pound symbol. If I refer to a value I usually refer to it as 100gbp etc. Pound keys suck.

I use the hash symbol thousands of times more than I do the pound symbol. YMMV.

US keyboard on a Mac all day long, why? It has a hash key and I don't have to contort fingers to get a hash symbol.

Tbh I honest I had that concern when I switched from being a long time user of an iphone ...... Turns out that in reality nothing really changed, I just got an operating system that isn't 5 years old and showing its age. There's nothing I miss about my iPhone at all and I guess that shocked...

Nexus 4. Quality build, feels as premium as anything and it runs stock android. Cheap (239 or 279) and unlocked. You can have premium for substantially less than the cost of an iPhone. And that's the S4's biggest problem, it's going to have none of those features. Still, they'll sell a crap...

Yeah, it doesn't really matter what ever groundbreaking hardware features they add....it'll still be running and inferior version of the OS and that means I'm out. There are some nice software features in it, but you'd have to put up with all the other alterations/bastardisations of the the...

No.

Everything else is broken by design. Nexus devices run the reference version of Android, no bloatware, no mods, pure android. You'll get at least 2 upgrades of major versions of Android and you'll get them the moment they're released, rather than waiting a year for something that may or may...

Anyone buying anything other than a Nexus Android device needs to be smacked around the head hard.

lol.

I remember running out of space on the laptop last year and I had to make the heart breaking decision to delete some of the p**n collection. When I told the wife that I was having to delete p**n to make space, she was absolutely horrified. She even started questioning me as to which films I'd...

Hopefully the SH2 will be better than the woeful SH1.

I've got a dumptruck account, but I've never used it. I keep meaning to take a look, but I never quite get around to it.

Yes. Personally, I use rsync to cloud drives. (take your pick, google drive, sky drive etc). Duplicati is quite a nice interface to these cloud storage providers, you can backup to multiple ones, encrypt, select which files etc.

I know of two people (personally) who recently who lost raid arrays, one was due to a second drive failing during rebuild and the other was due to (stupidly) pulling the wrong disk from the array and then (even more stupidly) not following the correct procedure to correct the mistake. jus'...

First post I made, read it. mhddfs+rsync. Even with "RAIDs redundancy" I'd still be looking to backup all the data on a raid array, so either way I'd still have rsync in the equation. All important stuff at home is rsynced off to multiple offsite locations (incremental backups too, always...

Each drive you add to the array increases the chance of a critical failure and loss of data across ALL drives, not just those that have gone bad. You also have to be somewhat careful and ensure that you pull the right drive from the array, this is often the way people find themselves going from...

And a second failure during rebuild? More common that you'd think, long rebuild times with large arrays, drives from the same batch..... How, it what way?

I'm curious as to why people are using RAID in a home environment? I (personally) know the guy who wrote the original linux kernel IDE drivers and he's a serious low level expert and he wouldn't touch raid (certainly in a home environment) with a bargepole. His solution and recommendation is...

Yeah, I wouldn't get one as a contract upgrade, bit pointless. If I were upgrading on contract and wanted a nexus then I'd get an iPhone, sell it and buy a nexus. Then again, I'd never be on contract. Sim free and rolling contract is the way to go.

In document ready you'd do something like: $('#m1-sum-arg3Field').text("1.50") whatever fields are appropriate.

We've just designed a retrofit radar module for use in a competitors product....their product has a high failure rate so we've been told! May as well make some cash out of their product!

No, I wrote the software for a radar that detects vehicles (VAS use etc) - some models have data collection, so analysis software was also needed to collect, process and analyse the data. If I had the time, I'd give you a hand, but I really don't. Sorry. I can answer the odd casual query, but...

Indeed. I spent a lot of time writing software to generate pretty reports on vehicle speeds including percentiles and stuff.

I'm guessing if you have an interest in this you probably use the 85th percentile of data a lot too?

It's the calculation for how far drivers need to see ahead (of a hazard) so that they can stop (safely) from a given speed.
